Every once in a while, I can't use the XXE attribute editor in Gnone (Fedora Core 5). I hit Ctrl+E and type in the first letter, say "c". The dropdown window briefly flashes an entry "class", and then it goes away, erasing the "c". I try clicking on "class". Another quick flash--the name is entered into the top text field, then immediately erased.
This used to also happen with element entries, but I solved that problem by using the pop-up dialog. Personally, I'd be happy to use a pop-up dialog for the attributes as well, but I don't know whether that is a configuration option. I use Java 5. It also happens with the Java 6 beta (build 78). If I activate opt="-Dawt.toolkit=sun.awt.motif.MToolkit" in the startup script, the problem goes away. I am using the free version, so I suppose I can't complain too much. Would it help if I had a look at the source of the incremental search component? Cheers, Cay -- Cay S. Horstmann | http://horstmann.com | mailto:cay at horstmann.com
